• Portable diagnostics equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the component status as discontinued or obsolete through official Analog Devices channels. Confirm RoHS compliance details and lead times directly with authorized distributors. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required package and temperature grade specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this part when limited board space prohibits external capacitors. It requires a single +5V supply. Verify that the 120kbps maximum data rate meets system requirements. Ensure the 20-pin Wide SO footprint fits the PCB layout constraints compared to standard SO packages.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX200-MAX209 family of RS-232 transceivers. These devices share common architecture including integrated voltage converters. The MAX203 specifically offers two driver/receiver pairs without shutdown functionality, distinguishing it from variants like the MAX200 or MAX205.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other members of the MAX200-MAX209 family such as the MAX202 or MAX204, provided pin compatibility and functional requirements align. Verify package dimensions and electrical characteristics against the original design specifications.
